A large crowd attended the 92nd Ellinbank Twilight Sports offering fun for all the family.
Incorporating the Ellinbank Farmers' Market for the first time, cars were lining up to get into the Ellinbank Recreation Reserve for the annual event.
"Excellent, it went very well," organiser Peter Wallace said.
Kids participated in events such as the obstacle course, flat race, potato race and sack race, whilst the adults enjoyed their own running races and gumboot throw activities.
The signature Ellinbank Gift was taken out by young rising athletics star Luke Rollinson.
Organised by the Ellinbank Hall Committee, Peter said the addition of the market seemed to attract a larger crowd and new faces on the night.
"A great idea and something we want to pursue in the future," he said. "It's always good to see new people."
A raffle was also run, raising funds for hall improvements.
Peter said the 93rd twilight sports would run on the last Friday in February next year.
"We're keen to go ahead next year, same time, same place," Peter said. "Book it in."
